Craig Robinson Arrested On Drug Possession Charges In Bahamas; 'Office' Actor Told Judge He Was Unaware Ecstasy, Weed Were Illegal?

Craig Robinson was arrested in the Bahamas for drug passion on Wednesday; "Hot Tub Time Machine" was reportedly carrying marijuana and ecstasy pills.

The "Office" actor pleaded not guilty to two counts of drug possession, according to TMZ. However, it doesn't look like the comedian will be facing any jail time for his alleged crime.

"Robinson was facing up to 4 YEARS in prison but got a huge break with the magistrate, who let Craig off the hook with a simple $1,000 fine," TMZ reports. "He was also ordered to leave the country ASAP."

Robinson's excuse to the judge for bringing weed and ecstasy to the Bahamas is that he was unaware they were illegal. According to TMZ, the actor was busted for possession of MDMA and meth, but the charges were later dropped when he completed a drug diversion program.

Robinson is not the only celebrity facing legal drama. NBA Player Lamar Odom has pleaded not guilty to a DUI charge on Wednesday.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Odom was arrested on Aug. 30 after he was spotted driving "erratically" on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley.

Odom allegedly showed "objective signs of intoxication and was unable to perform field sobriety tests as explained and demonstrated," the official report stated.

"At the Van Nuys jail, Odom refused all chemical tests and was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence," police said.

Odom was legally allowed to refuse to take the DUI test when he was pulled over. However, once he entered the police station he was legally required to take a chemical test. According to the LA Times, refusal of the chemical test may result in a driver's license suspension.

Odom has recently made headlines due to rumors swirling about his alleged crack cocaine use and a potential divorce to wife Khloe Kardashian.
